Telesurgery, also called remote surgery, is performed by a surgeon at a site removed from the patient. Surgical tasks are directly performed by a robotic system controlled by the surgeon at the remote site. The word telesurgery is derived from the Greek words tele , meaning far off, and cheirourgia , meaning working by hand..
During robot-assisted heart surgery, a doctor works at a remote console controlling the robotic instruments, which use small, precise movements to perform the surgery. Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery â procedures performed through tiny incisions.
